A staggering one in four women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime. 22-27% of female, and 6-8 % of male College students,are raped every year. Yet, even in a world where violent attacks are the norm, every person has the right to feel safe and the responsibility to learn to defend herself. At the Personal Protection Consultants Women’s/College student Self Defense Program, we believe one’s power is not in age, gender or physical fitness, but in the art of being prepared. That’s why we teach a range of defense strategies through partner and individual practice, drills and real world scenarios; but most critically, we instill the confidence it will take to apply these strategies when it really counts. To be proactive is to be empowered.
